Will Huskies make a bowl game?

It’s been a while since the Huskies have been to a bowl game. Seven years to be exact. Before this recent streak, the Dawgs hadn’t gone more than one year between bowl appearances since the mid-1970s. Needless to say, it’s been a tough stretch for any Huskies fan born after WWII.

But could the Huskies make a bowl this season?

At 3-3, the Dawgs are halfway there, needing six wins to become eligible for a bowl game. The last time the Huskies were this close to eligibility was in 2006 when, led by the great Isaiah Stanback, they opened at 4-1 only to lose Stanback and the next six games to miss out on a bowl.

Head coach Steve Sarkisian said at his Monday news conference that a bowl game was too far away to be thinking about. But the Huskies face some beatable opponents the rest of the way and, as the Arizona game showed us, anything is possible.

What do you think? Will the Huskies make a bowl game? Or is the team still too young to finish strong?
